Yard Work Is Hard

Mom has been talking about raking leaves for a while and she made it sound like so much fun.  So I made her buy me a rake so I could help out.  I mean, who wouldn't want to help rake leaves for the first time?  But guess what, raking is really hard!  I took on a small section under my slide and I was still exhausted within a few minutes.  Mom says jumping in piles of leaves is the best part about fall.  Maybe her and dad will rake a huge pile for me since I don't think I could do it by myself.

By the way, I've also taken up photography.  Check out 2 of my latest photos!

Pictures of Sawyer

I hate that I have to keep reminding mom and dad to take photos of Sawyer.  They have so many pictures of me when I was little, but poor Sawyer hardly has any.  Good thing he has me for a big brother, I'll always look out for him!

I Love Mini Golf!

Today, mom and dad took me to play mini golf.  If you've never played before, I highly recommend it!  After dad taught me the rules, I took my putter and gave it my best shot.  As you can see by these photos, I have excellent form and I think I'm a natural.  Mom didn't keep score since she says we're all winners, but I'm pretty sure I won.  Afterwards, we had some yummy ice cream even though we hadn't had dinner yet.  I loved the orange sherbet and I was feeling so generous, I even let dad finish the cone for me.

 

Who Doesn't Love A Good Parade?

Mom took me and Sawyer to our first parade last week and it was such a fun time!!!  There were police cars, fire trucks, a marching band and lots of people marching.  But the best part were the Girl Scouts.  Not because I totally dig an older woman, but because they threw a ton of candy at us!  If all parades have candy throwing, I'm there!  We went with our friends Spencer, Charlotte, Clive and Juliana and everyone had a great time.  Well, Sawyer was kind of scared by the fire trucks but he stopped crying once mom picked him up.  Afterwards we went to the fire house and climbed on one of the trucks and hung out with a few firefighters.  Talk about a fun day!

Sawyer Here...

So mom feels bad that Coop's blog doesn't have as many pics of me on it, so she told me that it was about time I did my own posting.  So here I am, typing for the first time.  Thank goodness for spell check since I'm not such a good speller just yet.  Life here is pretty good and I hope these pics show you just how good I have it.  I get fed whenever I want, though sometimes mom makes me wait longer than I'd like to.  I have a few really cool toys, especially my giraffe, Sophie.  But my favorite thing to chew on is still my hands, delicious!  And I have such a cool big brother.  I just love watching him run around and play with his big kid toys.  And Emma is the most fun dog ever, especially when she's giving me kisses.  Mom and dad are pretty fun, too, but Coop is definitely my favorite.  I can't wait until I'm big, just like him!!

Sharing Is Fun!

Mom says that sharing is very important and I totally agree.  Sawyer rolled from his stomach to his back yesterday so I thought I'd congratulate him by sharing my stickers with him.  I think he really appreciated the gesture, even though he didn't say 'thank you'.  But what do you expect from a baby that doesn't even have teeth yet?
